Before You Leave

Chapter 2

> Lacey's POV <

I couldn't believe it. Liam Payne. My Liam. He was back.

All the feelings for him that I buried so deep, were beginning to resurface, just over the fact I had seen his face again, in person.

I had missed him so much over the years. When I heard his voice, I could've sworn I was just in another dream.

Yes. I dream about him. Wouldn't you dream about the guy you're in love with?

Any way, I couldn't leave my beloved car in the parking lot, so I followed him to the flat he was staying in. My heart was racing, just like my car. I decided that music would maybe music would calm my nerves. So I turned on the radio.

Everything Has Changed came on.

No.

Back For You. By One Direction.

No.

Counting Stars.

No.

Why?! Is the radio trying to punish me for something? I turned it on to escape my problems, not to be reminded. Like seriously. What have I done this time?

I switched the channel yet again.

Still Into You.

No!!!

I just slammed my hand down on the off button.

"Peace," I sighed quietly.

And awkward silence.

Great.

I spent the rest of that drive in silence, following Liam's car.

We finally came to a nice home. I parked my car and got out, taking out my untouched McDonalds. I decided to wait to it so I could eat with Liam and his band mates.

"Best friends," I reminded myself so quietly I could barely hear it myself.

Liam carried in the 7 seven Big Macs as we walked up and opened the door.

"Hey! I'm back! And Harry?!" Liam called.

"Yeah?!"

"Please be wearing some clothes!" I heard a huff and someone climb the stairs.

"What?" I asked Liam raising an eyebrow.

"Erm... Harry has a strange habit."

I laughed. "Well alrighty then... Where's the kitchen?"

Liam pointed and I just nodded and walked in that direction.

I walked into the kitchen to see a blonde headed boy raiding the fridge.

"Um. Hi?"

He turned around to look at me, his eyes widening. I thought the first thing to come out of his mouth would be, "Who are you?" But it was actually...

"You bring food!" He cheered happily. I laughed again.

"This is mine."

His smile faded and he pouted.

"But Liam has some more food."

"You're forgiven!" He cheered again as he threw his arms around me.

He quickly pulled away. "Wait who are you?" Ah. There's the question.

"I'm Lacey. Liam's best friend."

"Niall. Liam's band mate and best mate."

"Cool. Lemme put my food down." Niall nodded as I put the food on the counter.
